DNS Error Can Prevent Your Site from Sending Pingbacks

April 23, 2009 · Filed Under Wordpress · 3 Comments 

This is in relation to my problem on sending pingbacks and trackbacks using Wordpress 2.7 and 2.7.1, which has really consumed so much of my time troubleshooting. Apparently, I can now send pingbacks/trackbacks to other sites but I can’t send pingbacks to my own articles (again). I tried upgrading the Wordpress MySQL database and I’m not sure how will this affect sending pingbacks. A few hours ago, my web hosting provider told that my DNS is not resolving properly. After fixing the DNS error, I was able to send pingbacks to some of my articles but my last three articles on Vacuum Cleaners: iRobot Roomba 530 Robotic Vacuum With Virtual Wall, iTunes Error 5002: How To Fix iTunes Error 5002 When Encountered? and Gateway T-6345U Notebook With 14.1-Inch WXGA Screen were not able to send pingbacks once more.

I was even telling here to migrate to Wordpress a long time ago but since her first blogging platform was Blogger, she stuck with it for a while only to realize that blogs hosted by Blogger are very vulnerable to hijacking.
